Hanova Library would like to thank our community for supporting our “Hanova Reading Challenge” activity during the Christmas Holiday! We have received lots of amazing reading pictures, showing the commitment of our students, teachers and staff! Last week…

We encourage all our students to keep reading and continue to visit our Library when possible. A number of amazing reading pictures are displayed on the library doors to show the enthusiasm in our school.

PYP classes are currently doing “Reading Buddies” sessions together every second Friday, where older classes read to younger classes or do a Literacy activity together. Year 1a and Year 4a have also extended this to “Maths Buddies”!

Welcome back! We start now the Second Semester of this Academic Year, with the next Festive Season arriving with the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival celebrations. Hereafter the news for this first school week in 2018.

Hereafter the news related to this last week of school in 2017. From next week we will all break for the Winter Holidays. Winter celebrations date back to ancient times, already taking place both in the old Roman and Chinese Empires.

This week we had two outstanding performances from our PYP students, who presented their annual Winter Concert entitled “The Crazy Alarm Clock” on Wednesday 6th and Friday 8th December. The shows were a great success, and all the PYP students were deeply engaged and excited to be on stage.

Last Friday saw the introduction of a new sport at Hanova – archery. Under the watchful eye of our Athletic Director, Mr. Lynn, the IB Diploma students in Years 12 and 13 learned how to construct their bows, observe safety measures and had their first target practice.

PYP parents are invited to our annual Winter Concert “The Crazy Alarm Clock” which will take place the Wednesday 6th December at 6pm. Our Primary students will use instruments, costumes, dancing and acting consist to present a wonderful musical journey throughout time ages.
